The board of the Enti fondatori (founding associations) has nominated Maestro Ernesto Palacio as the new Sovrintendente (General Administrator); he will cover this responsibility until the regular termination of the contract.

“This is a high profile nomination that guarantees total continuity of management” explains Matteo Ricci, Mayor of Pesaro and President of the ROF. “This appointment will allow us to celebrate next year’s Rossini celebrations most worthily.”

In his first pronouncement, the newly appointed Sovrintendente says: “I thank President Ricci and the Board of founding associations for the trust in me that they have expressed. I hope to be worthy of this enormous responsibility and to carry on as well as possible the inheritance left by Gianfranco Mariotti”.
